In addition to being a very good opportunity to get everyone together, the end of the year holidays are also known differently as a time of gifts in the family and among friends.
The exchange of gifts at the end of the year continues to become a tradition in Albania, as despite the fact that we are still a few days away from the turn of the year, the wrapping of gifts has begun.
"We made gifts of the most different kinds, especially for children."
"Definitely, on the eve of the normal New Year, we will give each other some gifts. I expect gifts from my children", said a citizen.
"I received a gift from my nephew in England, I also received a gift from my sister-in-law in Albania," said a citizen.
Traders say that national symbols, as well as handicrafts, are the most preferred by citizens, especially to give as gifts to family members abroad.
"In general, citizens receive gifts of national symbols for their family members abroad. Also, people enjoy handicrafts."
This is one of the thousands of immigrants who has chosen to celebrate the New Year with his parents in the capital, together with his Italian partner and 2 children. He tells Report TV that he traveled from Italy to Tirana together with his family to celebrate the New Year's Eve.
"Yes, every year-end with the family we celebrate the holidays together here in Albania, we enjoy the holidays more here than in Italy. I travel from Italy to Albania, together with my children", says the emigrant.
For more than 48 hours, at the border points of the country, there has been a flow of movements, immigrants and foreign citizens who have chosen to celebrate Christmas and New Year in our country.
